5 DataLink Layer 5-4
Link Layer IntroductionSome terminology hosts and routers are nodes communication channels
that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are links wired links wireless links LANs
layer-2 packet is a frame encapsulates datagram
ldquolinkrdquo
data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over a link
5 DataLink Layer 5-5
Link layer context
Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different links eg Ethernet on first
link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link
Each link protocol provides different services eg may or may not
provide rdt over link
transportation analogy trip from Princeton to
Lausanne limo Princeton to JFK plane JFK to Geneva train Geneva to Lausanne
tourist = datagram transport segment =
communication link transportation mode =
link layer protocol travel agent = routing
algorithm
5 DataLink Layer 5-6
Link Layer Services Framing link access
encapsulate datagram into frame adding header trailer
channel access if shared medium ldquoMACrdquo addresses used in frame headers to identify
source dest bull different from IP address
Reliable delivery between adjacent nodes we learned how to do this already (chapter 3) seldom used on low bit error link (fiber some twisted
pair) wireless links high error rates
bull Q why both link-level and end-end reliability
5 DataLink Layer 5-7
Link Layer Services (more)
Flow Control pacing between adjacent sending and receiving nodes
Error Detection errors caused by signal attenuation noise receiver detects presence of errors
bull signals sender for retransmission or drops frame
Error Correction receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without
resorting to retransmission
Half-duplex and full-duplex with half duplex nodes at both ends of link can
transmit but not at same time
5 DataLink Layer 5-8
Adaptors Communicating
link layer implemented in ldquoadaptorrdquo (aka NIC) Ethernet card PCMCI card
80211 card
sending side encapsulates datagram in
a frame adds error checking bits
rdt flow control etc
receiving side looks for errors rdt flow

Error DetectionEDC= Error Detection and Correction bits (redundancy)D = Data protected by error checking may include header fields
bull Error detection not 100 reliablebull protocol may miss some errors but rarelybull larger EDC field yields better detection and correction
5 DataLink Layer 5-11
Parity Checking
Single Bit ParityDetect single bit errors
Two Dimensional Bit ParityDetect and correct single bit errors
0 0
5 DataLink Layer 5-12
Internet checksum
Sender treat segment contents
as sequence of 16-bit integers
checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents
sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field
Receiver compute checksum of
received segment check if computed checksum
equals checksum field value NO - error detected YES - no error detected
But maybe errors nonetheless More later hellip
Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted segment (note used at transport layer only)
5 DataLink Layer 5-13
Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check view data bits D as a binary number choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G goal choose r CRC bits R such that
ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G If non-zero
remainder error detected can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits
widely used in practice (ATM HDCL)
5 DataLink Layer 5-14
CRC ExampleWant
D2r XOR R = nGequivalently
D2r = nG XOR R equivalently if we divide D2r by
G want remainder R
R = remainder[ ]D2r

Multiple Access Links and Protocols
Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load

5 DataLink Layer 5-22
Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others
5 DataLink Layer 5-29
CSMA collisions
collisions can still occurpropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmissioncollisionentire packet transmission time wasted
spatial layout of nodes
noterole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability
5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection
easy in wired LANs measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals
difficult in wireless LANs receiver shut off while transmitting
human analogy the polite conversationalist
5 DataLink Layer 5-31
CSMACD collision detection
5 DataLink Layer 5-32
ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead
ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocolslook for best of both worlds
5 DataLink Layer 5-33
ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolsPolling master node
ldquoinvitesrdquo slave nodes to transmit in turn
concerns polling overhead latency single point of
failure (master)
Token passing control token passed
from one node to next sequentially
token message concerns
token overhead latency single point of failure

MAC Addresses and ARP
32-bit IP address network-layer address used to get datagram to destination IP subnet
MAC (or LAN or physical or Ethernet) address used to get datagram from one interface to
another physically-connected interface (same network)
48 bit MAC address (for most LANs) burned in the adapter ROM

LAN Address (more)
MAC address allocation administered by IEEE manufacturer buys portion of MAC address
space (to assure uniqueness) Analogy (a) MAC address like Social Security
Number (b) IP address like postal address MAC flat address portability
can move LAN card from one LAN to another
IP hierarchical address NOT portable depends on IP subnet to which node is attached
5 DataLink Layer 5-40
ARP Address Resolution Protocol
Each IP node (Host Router) on LAN has ARP table
ARP Table IPMAC address mappings for some LAN nodes

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram
to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table
A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address Dest MAC address = FF-
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all machines on LAN
receive ARP query B receives ARP packet
replies to A with its (Bs) MAC address frame sent to Arsquos MAC
address (unicast)
A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out) soft state information
that times out (goes away) unless refreshed
ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP
tables without intervention from net administrator
5 DataLink Layer 5-42
Routing to another LANwalkthrough send datagram from A to B via R assume A knowrsquos B IP address
Two ARP tables in router R one for each IP network (LAN)

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN
ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame
Efficiency goes to 1 as tprop goes to 0
Goes to 1 as ttrans goes to infinity Much better than ALOHA but still decentralized simple and cheap

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table

FilteringForwardingWhen switch receives a frame
index switch table using MAC dest addressif entry found for destination
then if dest on segment from which frame arrived
then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived

Link Layer IntroductionSome terminology hosts and routers are nodes communication channels
that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are links wired links wireless links LANs
layer-2 packet is a frame encapsulates datagram
ldquolinkrdquo
data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over a link
5 DataLink Layer 5-5
Link layer context
Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different links eg Ethernet on first
link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link
Each link protocol provides different services eg may or may not
provide rdt over link
transportation analogy trip from Princeton to
Lausanne limo Princeton to JFK plane JFK to Geneva train Geneva to Lausanne
tourist = datagram transport segment =
communication link transportation mode =
link layer protocol travel agent = routing
algorithm
5 DataLink Layer 5-6
Link Layer Services Framing link access
encapsulate datagram into frame adding header trailer
channel access if shared medium ldquoMACrdquo addresses used in frame headers to identify
source dest bull different from IP address
Reliable delivery between adjacent nodes we learned how to do this already (chapter 3) seldom used on low bit error link (fiber some twisted
pair) wireless links high error rates
bull Q why both link-level and end-end reliability
5 DataLink Layer 5-7
Link Layer Services (more)
Flow Control pacing between adjacent sending and receiving nodes
Error Detection errors caused by signal attenuation noise receiver detects presence of errors
bull signals sender for retransmission or drops frame
Error Correction receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without
resorting to retransmission
Half-duplex and full-duplex with half duplex nodes at both ends of link can
transmit but not at same time

5 DataLink Layer 5-12
Internet checksum
Sender treat segment contents
as sequence of 16-bit integers
checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents
sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field
Receiver compute checksum of
received segment check if computed checksum
equals checksum field value NO - error detected YES - no error detected
But maybe errors nonetheless More later hellip
Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted segment (note used at transport layer only)
5 DataLink Layer 5-13
Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check view data bits D as a binary number choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G goal choose r CRC bits R such that
ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G If non-zero
remainder error detected can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits
widely used in practice (ATM HDCL)

Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead

byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Link Layer IntroductionSome terminology hosts and routers are nodes communication channels
that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are links wired links wireless links LANs
layer-2 packet is a frame encapsulates datagram
ldquolinkrdquo
data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over a link
5 DataLink Layer 5-5
Link layer context
Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different links eg Ethernet on first
link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link
Each link protocol provides different services eg may or may not
provide rdt over link
transportation analogy trip from Princeton to
Lausanne limo Princeton to JFK plane JFK to Geneva train Geneva to Lausanne
tourist = datagram transport segment =
communication link transportation mode =
link layer protocol travel agent = routing

5 DataLink Layer 5-6
Link Layer Services Framing link access

channel access if shared medium ldquoMACrdquo addresses used in frame headers to identify
source dest bull different from IP address
Reliable delivery between adjacent nodes we learned how to do this already (chapter 3) seldom used on low bit error link (fiber some twisted
pair) wireless links high error rates
bull Q why both link-level and end-end reliability
5 DataLink Layer 5-7
Link Layer Services (more)
Flow Control pacing between adjacent sending and receiving nodes
Error Detection errors caused by signal attenuation noise receiver detects presence of errors
bull signals sender for retransmission or drops frame
Error Correction receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without
resorting to retransmission
Half-duplex and full-duplex with half duplex nodes at both ends of link can
transmit but not at same time

5 DataLink Layer 5-12
Internet checksum
Sender treat segment contents
as sequence of 16-bit integers
checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents
sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field
Receiver compute checksum of
received segment check if computed checksum
equals checksum field value NO - error detected YES - no error detected
But maybe errors nonetheless More later hellip
Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted segment (note used at transport layer only)
5 DataLink Layer 5-13
Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check view data bits D as a binary number choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G goal choose r CRC bits R such that
ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G If non-zero
remainder error detected can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits
widely used in practice (ATM HDCL)

Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

Link Layer IntroductionSome terminology hosts and routers are nodes communication channels
that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are links wired links wireless links LANs
layer-2 packet is a frame encapsulates datagram
ldquolinkrdquo
data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over a link
5 DataLink Layer 5-5
Link layer context
Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different links eg Ethernet on first
link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link
Each link protocol provides different services eg may or may not
provide rdt over link
transportation analogy trip from Princeton to
Lausanne limo Princeton to JFK plane JFK to Geneva train Geneva to Lausanne
tourist = datagram transport segment =
communication link transportation mode =
link layer protocol travel agent = routing

5 DataLink Layer 5-6
Link Layer Services Framing link access
encapsulate datagram into frame adding header trailer
channel access if shared medium ldquoMACrdquo addresses used in frame headers to identify
source dest bull different from IP address
Reliable delivery between adjacent nodes we learned how to do this already (chapter 3) seldom used on low bit error link (fiber some twisted
pair) wireless links high error rates
bull Q why both link-level and end-end reliability
5 DataLink Layer 5-7
Link Layer Services (more)
Flow Control pacing between adjacent sending and receiving nodes
Error Detection errors caused by signal attenuation noise receiver detects presence of errors
bull signals sender for retransmission or drops frame
Error Correction receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without
resorting to retransmission
Half-duplex and full-duplex with half duplex nodes at both ends of link can
transmit but not at same time

Internet checksum
Sender treat segment contents
as sequence of 16-bit integers
checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents
sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field
Receiver compute checksum of
received segment check if computed checksum
equals checksum field value NO - error detected YES - no error detected
But maybe errors nonetheless More later hellip
Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted segment (note used at transport layer only)
5 DataLink Layer 5-13
Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check view data bits D as a binary number choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G goal choose r CRC bits R such that
ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G If non-zero
remainder error detected can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits
widely used in practice (ATM HDCL)

5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

take longer turns

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped

Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Link Layer Services Framing link access

channel access if shared medium ldquoMACrdquo addresses used in frame headers to identify
source dest bull different from IP address
Reliable delivery between adjacent nodes we learned how to do this already (chapter 3) seldom used on low bit error link (fiber some twisted
pair) wireless links high error rates
bull Q why both link-level and end-end reliability

Link Layer Services (more)
Flow Control pacing between adjacent sending and receiving nodes
Error Detection errors caused by signal attenuation noise receiver detects presence of errors
bull signals sender for retransmission or drops frame

Internet checksum
Sender treat segment contents
as sequence of 16-bit integers
checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents
sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field
Receiver compute checksum of
received segment check if computed checksum
equals checksum field value NO - error detected YES - no error detected
But maybe errors nonetheless More later hellip

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check view data bits D as a binary number choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G goal choose r CRC bits R such that
ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G If non-zero
remainder error detected can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table

FilteringForwardingWhen switch receives a frame
index switch table using MAC dest addressif entry found for destination

then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived

broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52

Multiple Access Links and Protocols
Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots

MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped

Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between

acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can

5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

5 DataLink Layer 5-12
Internet checksum
Sender treat segment contents
as sequence of 16-bit integers
checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents
sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field
Receiver compute checksum of
received segment check if computed checksum
equals checksum field value NO - error detected YES - no error detected
But maybe errors nonetheless More later hellip

5 DataLink Layer 5-13
Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check view data bits D as a binary number choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G goal choose r CRC bits R such that
ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G If non-zero
remainder error detected can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

Multiple Access Links and Protocols
Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

5 DataLink Layer 5-22
Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others
5 DataLink Layer 5-29
CSMA collisions
collisions can still occurpropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmissioncollisionentire packet transmission time wasted

5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection
easy in wired LANs measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals
difficult in wireless LANs receiver shut off while transmitting

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead
ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocolslook for best of both worlds

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)

Internet checksum
Sender treat segment contents
as sequence of 16-bit integers
checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents
sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field
Receiver compute checksum of
received segment check if computed checksum
equals checksum field value NO - error detected YES - no error detected
But maybe errors nonetheless More later hellip

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check view data bits D as a binary number choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G goal choose r CRC bits R such that
ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G If non-zero

Multiple Access Links and Protocols
Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead

byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Multiple Access Links and Protocols
Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can

5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Multiple Access Links and Protocols
Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

Multiple Access Links and Protocols
Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

5 DataLink Layer 5-22
Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Multiple Access Links and Protocols
Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point
PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host
broadcast (shared wire or medium) traditional Ethernet upstream HFC 80211 wireless LAN
5 DataLink Layer 5-17
Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52

Multiple Access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes
interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same
time
multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes
share channel ie determine when node can transmit
communication about channel sharing must use channel itself no out-of-band channel for coordination
5 DataLink Layer 5-18
Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol
Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send
at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can
send at average rate RM3 Fully decentralized
no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks slots
4 Simple
5 DataLink Layer 5-19
MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others
5 DataLink Layer 5-29

5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead
ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocolslook for best of both worlds
5 DataLink Layer 5-33

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

MAC Protocols a taxonomy
Three broad classes Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)
allocate piece to node for exclusive use
Random Access channel not divided allow collisions ldquorecoverrdquo from collisions
ldquoTaking turnsrdquo Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can
take longer turns
5 DataLink Layer 5-20
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) channel divided into N time slots one per user inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) frequency subdivided
5 DataLink Layer 5-21
Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA
FDMA frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt frequency bands 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others
5 DataLink Layer 5-29
CSMA collisions
collisions can still occurpropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmissioncollisionentire packet transmission time wasted
spatial layout of nodes
noterole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability
5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection
easy in wired LANs measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals
difficult in wireless LANs receiver shut off while transmitting
human analogy the polite conversationalist

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead
ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocolslook for best of both worlds
5 DataLink Layer 5-33
ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolsPolling master node
ldquoinvitesrdquo slave nodes to transmit in turn
concerns polling overhead latency single point of
failure (master)
Token passing control token passed
from one node to next sequentially
token message concerns
token overhead latency single point of failure

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA
TDMA time division multiple access access to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

CSMA collisions

5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection
easy in wired LANs measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals
difficult in wireless LANs receiver shut off while transmitting

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others
5 DataLink Layer 5-29
CSMA collisions
collisions can still occurpropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmissioncollisionentire packet transmission time wasted

5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection
easy in wired LANs measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals
difficult in wireless LANs receiver shut off while transmitting

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)

Random Access Protocols
When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R no a priori coordination among nodes
two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies
how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed
retransmissions)
Examples of random access MAC protocols slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA
5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others
5 DataLink Layer 5-29
CSMA collisions
collisions can still occurpropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmissioncollisionentire packet transmission time wasted
spatial layout of nodes
noterole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability
5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection
easy in wired LANs measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals
difficult in wireless LANs receiver shut off while transmitting
human analogy the polite conversationalist

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead
ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocolslook for best of both worlds
5 DataLink Layer 5-33
ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolsPolling master node
ldquoinvitesrdquo slave nodes to transmit in turn

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52

5 DataLink Layer 5-23
Slotted ALOHA
Assumptions all frames same size time is divided into
equal size slots time to transmit 1 frame
nodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slots
nodes are synchronized if 2 or more nodes
transmit in slot all nodes detect collision
Operation when node obtains fresh
frame it transmits in next slot
no collision node can send new frame in next slot
if collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success
5 DataLink Layer 5-24
Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others
5 DataLink Layer 5-29
CSMA collisions
collisions can still occurpropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmissioncollisionentire packet transmission time wasted

noterole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability
5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection
easy in wired LANs measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals
difficult in wireless LANs receiver shut off while transmitting

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead
ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocolslook for best of both worlds

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

Slotted ALOHA
Pros single active node can
continuously transmit at full rate of channel
highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync
simple
Cons collisions wasting
slots idle slots nodes may be able to
detect collision in less than time to transmit packet
clock synchronization
5 DataLink Layer 5-25
Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)
hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty
= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse
5 DataLink Layer 5-28
CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission
Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others
5 DataLink Layer 5-29

5 DataLink Layer 5-30
CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel
wastage collision detection
easy in wired LANs measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals
difficult in wireless LANs receiver shut off while transmitting

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols
share channel efficiently and fairly at high load
inefficient at low load delay in channel access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node
Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully
utilize channel high load collision overhead
ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocolslook for best of both worlds
5 DataLink Layer 5-33

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

Slotted Aloha efficiency
Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p
prob that node 1 has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1
prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1
For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1
For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1
as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37
Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send
At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time
5 DataLink Layer 5-26
Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronization when frame first arrives
transmit immediately
collision probability increases frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-
1t0+1]
5 DataLink Layer 5-27
Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]
= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1
= p (1-p)2(N-1)

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

MAC (or LAN or physical or Ethernet) address used to get datagram from one interface to
another physically-connected interface (same network)
48 bit MAC address (for most LANs) burned in the adapter ROM

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address Dest MAC address = FF-
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all machines on LAN

replies to A with its (Bs) MAC address frame sent to Arsquos MAC

A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out) soft state information
that times out (goes away) unless refreshed
ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait

CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN

MAC (or LAN or physical or Ethernet) address used to get datagram from one interface to
another physically-connected interface (same network)
48 bit MAC address (for most LANs) burned in the adapter ROM

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address Dest MAC address = FF-
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all machines on LAN

replies to A with its (Bs) MAC address frame sent to Arsquos MAC

A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out) soft state information
that times out (goes away) unless refreshed
ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait
will be longer first collision choose K
from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times
after second collision choose K from 0123hellip
after ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram
to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table
A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address Dest MAC address = FF-
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all machines on LAN
receive ARP query B receives ARP packet
replies to A with its (Bs) MAC address frame sent to Arsquos MAC
address (unicast)
A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out) soft state information
that times out (goes away) unless refreshed
ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP
tables without intervention from net administrator

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait
will be longer first collision choose K
from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission

CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait

Bus topology popular through mid 90s Now star topology prevails Connection choices hub or switch (more later)

5 DataLink Layer 5-47
Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait
will be longer first collision choose K
from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times
after second collision choose K from 0123hellip
after ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

5 DataLink Layer 5-53
CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN
ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame
Efficiency goes to 1 as tprop goes to 0
Goes to 1 as ttrans goes to infinity Much better than ALOHA but still decentralized simple and cheap

5 DataLink Layer 5-56
Manchester encoding
Used in 10BaseT Each bit has a transition Allows clocks in sending and receiving nodes to
synchronize to each other no need for a centralized global clock among nodes
Hey this is physical-layer stuff
5 DataLink Layer 5-57
Gbit Ethernet
uses standard Ethernet frame format allows for point-to-point links and shared
broadcast channels in shared mode CSMACD is used short

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table
5 DataLink Layer 5-63
FilteringForwardingWhen switch receives a frame
index switch table using MAC dest addressif entry found for destination
then if dest on segment from which frame arrived
then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait
will be longer first collision choose K
from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times
after second collision choose K from 0123hellip
after ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait
will be longer first collision choose K
from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times
after second collision choose K from 0123hellip
after ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

5 DataLink Layer 5-53
CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN
ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame
Efficiency goes to 1 as tprop goes to 0
Goes to 1 as ttrans goes to infinity Much better than ALOHA but still decentralized simple and cheap

Manchester encoding
Used in 10BaseT Each bit has a transition Allows clocks in sending and receiving nodes to

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table

then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived

Ethernet Frame Structure
Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame
Preamble 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one
byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver sender clock
rates
5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait
will be longer first collision choose K
from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times
after second collision choose K from 0123hellip
after ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

5 DataLink Layer 5-53
CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN
ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame
Efficiency goes to 1 as tprop goes to 0
Goes to 1 as ttrans goes to infinity Much better than ALOHA but still decentralized simple and cheap

Manchester encoding
Used in 10BaseT Each bit has a transition Allows clocks in sending and receiving nodes to
synchronize to each other no need for a centralized global clock among nodes
Hey this is physical-layer stuff
5 DataLink Layer 5-57
Gbit Ethernet
uses standard Ethernet frame format allows for point-to-point links and shared
broadcast channels in shared mode CSMACD is used short
distances between nodes required for efficiency

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table

index switch table using MAC dest addressif entry found for destination
then if dest on segment from which frame arrived
then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived

5 DataLink Layer 5-48
Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses 6 bytes
if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocol
otherwise adapter discards frame
Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)
CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped
5 DataLink Layer 5-49
Unreliable connectionless service Connectionless No handshaking between
sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send
acks or nacks to sending adapter stream of datagrams passed to network layer can
have gaps gaps will be filled if app is using TCP otherwise app will see the gaps
5 DataLink Layer 5-50
Ethernet uses CSMACD
No slots adapter doesnrsquot
transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sense
transmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection
Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access
5 DataLink Layer 5-51
Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait
will be longer first collision choose K
from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times
after second collision choose K from 0123hellip
after ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023
Seeinteract with Javaapplet on AWL Web sitehighly recommended
5 DataLink Layer 5-53
CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN
ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame
Efficiency goes to 1 as tprop goes to 0
Goes to 1 as ttrans goes to infinity Much better than ALOHA but still decentralized simple and cheap

Manchester encoding
Used in 10BaseT Each bit has a transition Allows clocks in sending and receiving nodes to
synchronize to each other no need for a centralized global clock among nodes
Hey this is physical-layer stuff
5 DataLink Layer 5-57
Gbit Ethernet
uses standard Ethernet frame format allows for point-to-point links and shared
broadcast channels in shared mode CSMACD is used short

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table

index switch table using MAC dest addressif entry found for destination
then if dest on segment from which frame arrived
then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm
1 Adaptor receives datagram from net layer amp creates frame
2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits
3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame
4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal
5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mth collision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
5 DataLink Layer 5-52
Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)
Jam Signal make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits
Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec
Exponential Backoff Goal adapt retransmission
attempts to estimated current load heavy load random wait
will be longer first collision choose K
from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times
after second collision choose K from 0123hellip
after ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

CSMACD efficiency Tprop = max prop between 2 nodes in LAN
ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame
Efficiency goes to 1 as tprop goes to 0
Goes to 1 as ttrans goes to infinity Much better than ALOHA but still decentralized simple and cheap

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table

then if dest on segment from which frame arrived
then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table

FilteringForwardingWhen switch receives a frame
index switch table using MAC dest addressif entry found for destination
then if dest on segment from which frame arrived
then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table
5 DataLink Layer 5-63
FilteringForwardingWhen switch receives a frame
index switch table using MAC dest addressif entry found for destination
then if dest on segment from which frame arrived
then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived
5 DataLink Layer 5-64
Switch example
Suppose C sends frame to D
Switch receives frame from from C notes in bridge table that C is on interface 1 because D is not in table switch forwards frame into

Self learning
A switch has a switch table entry in switch table
(MAC Address Interface Time Stamp) stale entries in table dropped (TTL can be 60
min) switch learns which hosts can be reached through
which interfaces when frame received switch ldquolearnsrdquo location
of sender incoming LAN segment records senderlocation pair in switch table
5 DataLink Layer 5-63
FilteringForwardingWhen switch receives a frame
index switch table using MAC dest addressif entry found for destination
then if dest on segment from which frame arrived
then drop the frame else forward the frame on interface indicated else flood
forward on all but the interface on which the frame arrived
